[mythtv] Transcoding of DVB-T recording expands the file

[Daniel Thor Kristjansson]

From the reading I've been doing on MPEG-2... GOPs are not required for
a valid stream, they are only a requirement in MPEG-1. Which means we
can't depend on hardware encoders or ATSC/DVB output to always contain
GOPs.
